Filming Options in Greenville

A filmmaking project is not an easy endeavor. Whether you’re a college student filming your first short or a full-fledged creator of blockbusters, you need all the right tools, equipment, and personnel in place to produce truly great content. Fortunately, Greenville has all the things you could need to produce a high-quality film project.

• Catering
  One of the most important things when putting together a film of any kind is to make sure everyone stays in good shape to produce and is happy with their work. One of the best ways to do this is to arrange that the crew stays well fed. Doing this alone would be quite a feat. That’s why the best option is to bring in a professional caterer so that everyone is not only fed, but well fed.
  
  
• Equipment Rental
  A vital component of filming is making sure you have the right equipment. Cameras, mics, grips, and other equipment are pretty much mandatory to make anything filmworthy. Rather than carrying all your own equipment, it might be a good idea to rent the equipment on the spot instead. There are plenty of professional filming equipment companies available in Greenville to meet your needs.
  
  
• Transportation
  Getting to and from different destinations can be difficult even if you know the city well. Considering you have a large staff plus the actors in the film that need to get to the filming location, it’s a good idea to make sure you arrange private transportation. After all, expecting everyone to take the bus or drive in is not very practical when trying to put a film together and meet a deadline.

• Southern Valet and Transportation
  When you’re putting together a film, the last thing you want to think about is how everyone is going to get to the set.

Pros and Cons of Filming in Greenville

As one of the major cities in South Carolina, Greenville has a lot to offer residents and visitors alike and is a great place for filming. With all the positives there are also negatives, as with every city. Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of Greenville.

Advantages

• Plenty of green spaces
  For a city named Greenville, you’d expect there to be plenty of nature to find and that’s exactly correct. There are a number of parks and other open spaces to just enjoy nature and with lots of warm weather, there’s plenty of time to do so. This factor is great for outdoor filming, too.
  
  
• Cost of living
  Despite being a big city in South Carolina, Greenville is actually cheaper to live in than similar cities and somewhat less expensive than even the national average. This may make filming less costly as well.
  
  
• Plenty of options
  Whether you're looking for spaces to film or spaces to party after the filming is done, you’ll find no shortage of options in Greenville.

Disadvantages

• Summer heat
  The weather is mostly pleasant in Greenville but if you aren’t used to summers in the south, particularly the humidity, then you may find it unbearable. If you’re filming during the summer, it may be a good idea to do most of your filming indoors.
  
  
• Traffic
  Like most cities, Greenville has no shortage of traffic and congestion, making it difficult to get around if you’re using a car. You might want to pick a filming location that is close to the amenities you need to make it easier for everyone involved.
  
  
• Poor public transit
  If you’re thinking that taking the bus might be the solution to the traffic congestion in Greenville, you may need to find another solution. There is a free trolley system if the timing works.
